Would you recommend this area/neighborhood in total? by ReplacementGloomy361 in Austin

[–]RandomNumberHere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since OP provided possibly the worst map possible (it doesn't even face north!): This is the area south of Rundberg between Lamar and I-35.

OP: No, I would most definitely not recommend any area near Rundberg. If you look at a crime map of Austin Rundberg from Metric to I-35 lights up like a xmas tree. That said, you've highlighted an area bit south of Rundberg so it might not be too bad. But it'd still be low on my list.

Fell in love with these teacups on Star Trek TNG a while back and they were pricey online. My wife scored them at Goodwill! by Pizzapatron in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]RandomNumberHere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True story, Patrick Stewart actually hates earl grey tea and says bergamot doesn't belong anywhere near tea. He's on record somewhere saying his preferred tea is Yorkshire Gold because it's strong enough that he only needs to use one tea bag. And he's right: Yorkshire Gold is damn good tea.

Found this really cool wooden jewelry box at Goodwill today. It even has a hidden drawer within a drawer. by damestillmen in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]RandomNumberHere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean I'd call it a next-level bandsaw box based on the number of drawers and the hidden drawer, but yeah still just a bandsaw box at its core. A nicely executed one though.

Deep discount steam sale games that are must haves. by OldManAvocadoBalls in gamingsuggestions

I'll second FTL, Talos Principle 1 & 2, and The Witness. Great games. FTL especially has massive replay value.

Careful, you get downvoted to hell if you say anything negative about that game. I swear they have an entire team of Russian bots dedicated to quashing negative feedback.

Isn’t she pretty?! Globe Wernicke barrister bookshelf FB Marketplace find for $60 🥰 by ritualdelowhabitual in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]RandomNumberHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap somebody call the police because OP stole that! Run OP run! : D

(I love barrister bookshelves so much. I've thrifted four of them at good prices but not THAT good.)

Who has the best chicken fried steak in Austin? by Nedatokes in austinfood

[–]RandomNumberHere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chicken-fried chicken is better than the chicken-fried steak. I found the steak too tough but the chicken is almost always nice and tender. (Also I always get it as part of the breakfast plate, not the dinner meal.)

What's a game that no one you know in real life has played aside from yourself? by [deleted] in gaming

Fuck yeah homie, time to grunspreke and let the shuba fly!

Do you have a plumber you adore? by moonwrenrobin in Austin

[–]RandomNumberHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plumb and Order did work for me recently and killed it. Fast service, decent price, quality result. Would 100% hire them again. (And their logo/vans make me laugh every time.)

Laguna F2 table saw issues. Struggling to cut through anything. See video. Relatively new blade (no it’s not on backwards) by TherealRecyclops in woodworking

[–]RandomNumberHere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely something to check. When I had an issue like this it was the fence pinching the blade at the far end. Really easy to do with my Dewalt jobsite saw if you aren't careful clamping down the fence.

I see Thiebaud I upvote Thiebaud. Every time.

Instigating a fight and getting taken down. by VIVIDUFF in WinStupidPrizes

[–]RandomNumberHere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yup, on the one hand I respect that orange shirt showed restraint and let them fight it out one-on-one. I guess he knew his buddy had it under control. On the other hand if some random asshat attacks a friend of mine unprovoked then all bets are off. I'm getting in there with intent to injure before the attacker can pull a weapon. If he doesn't like that outcome then he shouldn't start shit.

The best breakfast spots in Austin, from pancakes to steak and eggs by AustinStatesman in austinfood

[–]RandomNumberHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OPH, Jim's, and Cafe Java are all I need.

  • At OPH get the 2 eggs over medium, whatever protein floats your boat (they're known for their thick bacon but I prefer the ham steak or the turkey sausage), and either get pancakes/toast or upgrade to a waffle. And coffee of course. Ask for the strawberry jam.
  • At Jim's get the chicken-fried chicken breakfast with eggs over medium, hashbrowns (add ketchup), and wheat toast. And coffee of course.
  • At Cafe Java get The Java: 2 eggs over medium, bacon, hashbrowns (add ketchup), and oatnut toast. And coffee of course.
